The Molly Brotman Future Leaders through Education ScholarshipDeadline: Year Round
Brotman Law is a firm believer in the value of education as a platform to achieving personal, professional, and financial goals. We believe that education is the foundation that leads to people realizing their full potential and making a difference in the world. Every day, bright minds go off to institutions of higher education and those minds will be the platform for our future success as a nation. In an effort to make the financial burden of higher education a little easier and to facilitate big ideas, we are offering an annual $500 scholarship to students currently attending or planning on attending college during the next academic year. This can be used toward the cost of education, educational materials, or travel associated with higher learning or professional development.
